Plague Inc Style Meme About Sick People Flying With Unknown Virus
![This meme uses a screenshot of a North American air traffic tracking map, showing one airplane in flight over the central United States. Overlaid on the map is the text 'Random mfs as soon as they get sick with an unknow [sic] virus' next to a wilting, dripping rose emoji. The joke draws a parallel to the core gameplay of the strategy game Plague Inc, where players aim to spread a deadly pathogen across the entire globe using transmission routes including air travel. It mocks the irresponsible behavior of people who choose to travel by plane immediately after contracting an undiagnosed contagious virus, which would accelerate the spread of the disease just like in the game.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/b3/7a/3b/b7/b37a3bb76082d4cfcf8e1cf4f991f2d5.png.webp)

Random mfs as soon as they get sick with an unknow virus
Overview
This meme uses a screenshot of a North American air traffic tracking map, showing one airplane in flight over the central United States. Overlaid on the map is the text 'Random mfs as soon as they get sick with an unknow [sic] virus' next to a wilting, dripping rose emoji. The joke draws a parallel to the core gameplay of the strategy game Plague Inc, where players aim to spread a deadly pathogen across the entire globe using transmission routes including air travel. It mocks the irresponsible behavior of people who choose to travel by plane immediately after contracting an undiagnosed contagious virus, which would accelerate the spread of the disease just like in the game.
Origin notes
This meme is sourced from an RSS feed of the Reddit Meme subreddit, with the original poster titling it 'plague INC type of shi'. It references the widely popular strategy game Plague Inc., whose air travel spread mechanic became a common cultural reference point during the COVID-19 pandemic when discussions of travel restrictions for sick people were widespread. The meme is user-created, with edited text added to a standard public flight tracking interface screenshot.
![A humorous meme featuring a colorful map of the contiguous United States (with Alaska and Hawaii insets) where each state is labeled. At the top of the image, a large white speech bubble contains the text: "If you don't like the weather in [Insert State], wait five minutes". Multiple thin white lines radiate downward from the speech bubble, visually connecting it to every individual state on the map. This design comically suggests that every U.S. state claims their weather is uniquely variable, with the shared joke applied universally across regions.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/8a/96/67/42/8a9667428772d7e1133aafd33b234147.jpeg.webp)
